Fortipred (1%) 5Ml Eye Drops (Prednisolone, Prednisone) – Remington Pharmaceutical Industries

Prednisolone and Prednisone Eye Drops are corticosteroid medicines used to reduce inflammation and relieve redness, swelling, irritation, and discomfort caused by allergic and inflammatory eye conditions. They are commonly prescribed after eye surgery and for conditions such as conjunctivitis, uveitis, and other steroid-responsive eye disorders.

How It Works

Prednisolone and Prednisone work by suppressing the body’s inflammatory response. They block the release of inflammatory chemicals, reduce immune cell activity, and decrease swelling, redness, pain, and irritation, helping the eye heal more effectively.

Dosage

Instill the prescribed number of drops into the affected eye(s) exactly as directed by your physician. Do not discontinue treatment suddenly without medical advice.
